Why this recipe works:

As soon as those the familiar bells from the ice cream truck started ringing, it was like time stood still, and all was right with the world. 

At least that’s what it seemed like when I was a kid, and I was eating my beloved toasted almond ice cream bars.

Today’s easy ice cream bar recipe brings back all those same feelings and emotions, but as an adult who’s trying to watch my carbohydrate intake, there is zero percent guilt!

What if I don’t like almonds? Can I substitute another type of nut?

By all means. Toasted pecans would be delicious, as would toasted macadamia nuts, or just about any other type of nuts that are your favorites. Just make sure to swap out the almond extract for pure vanilla extract and you’ll be all set.

How long do these ice cream bars take to freeze?

That all depends on the type of ice cream bar molds you’re using, and how thick they are. I’ll leave the affiliate link below for the silicone molds I used. That said, I would say a good 4 to 6 hours would be sufficient no matter what type of mold you use. Just make sure to test them for firmness before you try to remove them from the molds.

Can I make these bars with another type of homemade ice cream, or does it have to be keto-friendly ice cream?

If you have a favorite homemade vanilla ice cream that you love, you can definitely use it. It does not have to be keto-friendly. However, if you want the full toasted almond ice cream bar experience (i.e. the copycat flavor), please make sure to use pure almond extract as the flavoring.

Can I use store-bought vanilla ice cream to make these keto-friendly toasted almond ice cream bars?

You can, but then they won’t be keto-friendly. That said, if you’d like to make these ice cream bars with store-bought ice cream all you need to do is soften some vanilla ice cream so it’s pliable.

Stir in some almond extract and proceed with the recipe (shown in the video below) to the point of filling the molds with the toasted almonds and ice cream. Once made, refreeze until firm and you’re good to go!
